Anyone who watched the Wild Card Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins noticed one prominent storyline: The weather. At kickoff, the temperature was negative 4 degrees, with a windchill of negative 27, making it the fourth coldest game in NFL history. Fans who braved the game (even the most famous attendees who had the luxury of watching from a box) had to seriously bundle up.
Taylor Swift, who cheered on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs to a 26-7 win, made a stylish appearance at the game, as we've come to expect. But this time she stayed warm thanks to a Chiefs puffer jacket made by talented designer Kristin Juszczyk. Football fans will recognize Kristin's name: She is married to San Francisco 49ers fullback, Kyle Juszczyk.

Kristin often makes clothes to wear from the games, repurposing garments into incredible designs, and she's dressed Simone Biles and 49ers star Deebo Samuel. She made herself a jersey puffer coat last week, but she calls creating jackets for Taylor and Patrick Mahomes's wife Brittany "an honor of a lifetime."
Kristin shared the process of making the coats "strictly out of jerseys." She added embroidered details and an extra-thick liner to keep Taylor and Brittany warm. Kristin calls the experience "such a pinch me moment." Brittany commented on her Instagram post, "We love you and are so thankful ❤️🙏🏻"
We can't wait to see more of Kristin's designs as the playoffs continue. Her husband and the 49ers secured the #1 seed and had the weekend off, but they'll be back in action during the next round.
